Amoah is said to be partially blind and has been abandoned by his employers. According to Amoah, last May, after discharging fish at the Tema main harbour, he picked a piece of tuna and went to plead with the security man to allow him to take it home for a meal.
Before he could say anything the security man, whose name is given simply as Kennedy, slapped him in the face with an object, drawing blood from his left eye.
He said Kennedy, realising what he had done, offered him 2,000 cedis to attend the hospital. He said that the management gave him only 30,000 cedis for treatment at the hospital, and that he has not fully recovered from the injury, his employers have abandoned him.
